As employees opted for hybrid and remote work options in the latter years of the COVID pandemic, Microsoft has been retreating to its Redmond campus.

Microsoft has not enforced a companywide return-to-office policy, unlike its local tech peer Amazon, which requires employees to spend three days a week in the office.

All the shit I give about a Microsoft, I hope they stay remote.

Ive been a remote worker for years. It's great.

Their software allows me to work remote, so good on them.

The old timers will remember NT 4 and eat your own dog food.

It is probably excellent for user experience when they are forced to live with their own mistakes.

I die a little inside every time I hear the phrase "drink your own Champaign". It's agonizing, like a 40 degree day.
